Obama At The UN - He Has A Dream

Obama scored a major coup at the UN, chairing a security Council meeting that declared by a 15-0 vote that nuclear weapons are a Bad Thing.  The Security Council achieved unanimity in their resolution by clever diplomatic maneuvering which sidestepped the divisive question of whether Obama's "dream" should be achieved through reliance on Magic Ponies or by means of the Care Bear Stare.

Nicholas Sarkozy, Ambassador from Earth, had other thoughts:

French President Nicolas Sarkozy took a tougher line, telling reporters that the international community had to hold Iran and North Korea accountable for ignoring U.N. demands to curb their nuclear programs, which the United States and other Security Council members believe are aimed at producing nuclear weapons.

“President Obama himself has said, ‘I dream of a world in which there would be no nuclear weapon,’ yet right in front of us two countries are doing exactly the opposite,” Sarkozy said.

“Iran since 2005 has flouted five Security Council resolutions – five,” the French president said. “What has it brought to the international community? Nothing at all. Just more enriched Uranium, more centrifuges…[and] a proposal to wipe a UN member state [Israel] off the map.”

As for North Korea, he said, “They pay no attention to what the international community has to say. How can we accept this?”

“If we have the courage to affirm and impose sanctions together against those who violate resolutions of the Security Council, we will be lending credibility to our commitment to a world with fewer nuclear weapons and ultimately no nuclear weapons,” Sarkozy concluded.

MY DEFICIT-REDUCING SUGGESTION DU JOUR:  Obama ought to auction off his senior thesis from Columbia on Soviet nuclear disarmament, with the proceeds going to pay down the national debt.  Big bidders will be Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and the Comedy Channel.
